I edited this interview just to what Lucas says about the O-OT, and it is amazing how much he disrespects the fans. I often wonder he lives in a bubble, cause I have never seen a director despise their own movies and the fans that loves those movies so much. Here is quote from MTV.com by Lucas about the Sept. 12th release:

05.11.2006 6:00 AM EDT

Until then, he says he’s curious to see what the reception will be for the upcoming limited-edition DVD release of the three original “Star Wars” films (see “Three Original ‘Star Wars’ Films (Finally) Coming To DVD — But Not For Long”). “It’s just the original versions, as they were,” Lucas said. “We didn’t do anything to it at all. But we’re not sure how many people want that.”

You might say quite a few, considering how many fans were angered by the digitized, expanded updates of episodes IV, V and VI. Lucas claims he’s not re-releasing the originals to appease fans, but rather to bate them. “Now we’ll find out whether they really wanted the original or whether they wanted the improved versions,” he said. “It’ll all come out in the end.”

See everything we’ve got on “Star Wars,”“The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi.”
